Amateur Program

July 28 through August 12 2007
The Amateur Program is open to adults who have pursued serious
piano studies, but who are not currently earning a living from
performing or teaching piano. The Amateur Program is designed
for people who are passionate about making music and who want
to share this passion with others. In particular, the Amateur
Program recognizes the importance of making music in daily life,
and encourages the development of piano skills as a dedicated
pursuit.

Deric Bownds

is a retired biochemist in
Wisconsin with a very strong interest in piano playing. The site
which is quite unusual in its diversity includes audio-visuals
of his performances of many pieces of the standard repertoite.

An interesting new development
is the supply of sheet music collections on CD. A CD can hold
about 1000 pages which can be viewed and printed off as needed.
Collections of much of the classical repertoire are available.

Women pianists from all eras. This site is a comprehensive
and uptodate survey of women pianists and composers. There are
links to lots them. Try the link to the Lebesque sisters for a
really stunning website design. It's fabulous.
